Intro: D E G A

            D (paradinha 5x D)
Starry, starry night 
                   E
Paint your palette blue and gray 
            G
Look out on a summer's day
A                                      D
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul... 
                     D (paradinha 5x D )
Shadows on the hills 
                     E
Sketch the trees and the daffodils 
                         G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills 
    A                           D
In colors on the snowy linen land. 
           E      G
Now I understand 
                 D C#    B
What you tried to say, to me 
                              E
And how you suffered for your sanity 
                                  B
And how you tried to set them free:
                                         E
They would not listen; they did not know how -- 
G
Perhaps they'll listen now.

              D (paradinha 6x)
Starry, Starry night 
                   E
Portraits hung in empty halls
                    G
Frameless heads on nameless walls
      A                                    D
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

                                D (paradinha 6x D) 
Like the strangers that you've met 
                           E
The ragged men in ragged clothes
                     G
The silver thorn, a bloody rose 
A                                     D
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. 
                E G
Now I think I know 
                   D C#   B
What you tried to say, to me
                                 E
And how you suffered for your sanity
                              B
And how you tried to set them free: 
                                             E
They would not listen; they're not listening still -- 
G                         D
Perhaps they never will. 
                   E         A
For they could not love you 
                        D     B
But still, your love was true 
     (LARGA)   E          
And when no hope was left inside 
         G
On that starry, starry night 
   *D                  C           B
You took your life as lovers often do -- 
        E
But I could've told you, Vincent: 
  G
This world was never meant
        A                D
For one as beautiful as you.
